We're spending a few days at Tiger Run RV Resort halfway between (5 miles each way) Frisco and Breckenridge.
The area is beautiful with mountains and aspens all around. Altitude... 9,200 ft? No problem, I'll adjust to live here...
Tom and Tank take off up the hill just behind the RV park, which is U.S. Forest Service land. They have a nice little hike up to a meadow with beautiful views of the valley below as well as the mountains on the far side of the valley.
Breckenridge is a touristy town that is popular during the summer as well as the ski season. We treat ourselves to a fancy dinner at a restaurant in downtown Breckenridge called Relish. We started with escargot and a curried butternut squash soup made with coconut milk.
Entrees are: herb grilled Cullotte steak in truffled hunters sauce with creme fraiche mashed potatoes and haricot verts and seared Peking duck breast in a bourbon maple blood orange glaze and butternut squash duck leg confit hash.
Finally, dessert is baked Alaska. MAN, that was good!
The next day, to work all that food off, Tom decides to dust the cobwebs off the road bike. He goes for a ride up thru Breckenridge and beyond up to the town of Blue River before turning around and having a blast bombing back down the hill.
Awesome campsite. I love the creek with the turning leaves in the background. How was the duck? I've never had duck before but am wanting to try it.
ReplyDeleteVicki tells me Matthew is coming and we will be hosting this Friday. Won't be the same without you all though.
I especially liked the duck confit hash that was a side on Tom's dish. I think I would have liked the rest of the duck in this dish better if they had crisped up the skin.
DeleteThe duck was good, as was everything we had that evening. I wouldn't say it was remarkable, I liked Wendy's dish slightly better. We talked to Matthew this evening and he mentioned going up to see you guys. I know he's looking forward to it.
